Revised & Expanded
2nd Edition of
Handbook of
Imaging Materials


The Handbook of Imaging Materials, 2nd Edition (Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, November 2001, 472 pp., illus., $175.00), is co-edited by DRC's Art Diamond and Dr. David S. Weiss of Eastman Kodak Company.

Publication was originally announced in a bulletin by Marcel Dekker, Inc., which reads, "Written by recognized authorities in the field, the Second Edition of the Handbook of Imaging Materials is a state-of-the-art source for optical, electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineers, physicists, chemists, biochemists, materials and imaging scientists, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines."

The new volume is currently available new, or used, from www.amazon.com

This Second Edition is a revised and expanded version of the original text first published in 1991. It contains the most recent developments in the properties and performance characteristics of photographic, electrophotographic, electrostatic, diazo, thermal and ink jet imaging materials.

Art Diamond is President and Founder of Diamond Research Corporation (Ojai, California) a 40-year old, high technology engineering, consulting, publishing and trade show management firm specializing in imaging materials and processes. Diamond holds 15 U.S. patents and is the author of more than 70 publications and lectures on imaging technology. For the past 26 years, DRC's unique series of Imaging Materials Seminars®, has brought front line managers, market strategists and imaging scientists together to discuss risks and opportunities in toners, photoreceptors, ink jet inks and specialty media for the imaging industry. That seminar series continues to be offered by The Tiara Group, LLC (Ojai, California).

David Weiss is a Scientist Fellow at Eastman Kodak Company (Rochester, New York). He is the coauthor of two recent scientific texts: Organic Photoreceptors for Imaging Systems and Organic Photoreceptors for Xerography. Dr. Weiss has also authored more than 50 scientific papers in the field of photochemistry and electrophotography. He holds 13 U.S. patents on xerographic photoreceptor technology and is the 1999 recipient of the Carlson Memorial Award from the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T) for "outstanding contributions in the science and technology of xerographic imaging."
